Howletts Wild Animal Park, Kent, England
Howletts Wild Animal Park near Canterbury, Kent was established in 1957 by John Aspinall as a private zoo, and expanded with the purchase of an estate at Port Lympne, near Hythe, Kent in 1973.
Howletts was eventually opened to the public in 1975, with Port Lympne Wild animal Park opening to the public the following year.
These open park zoos, under the umbrella of the John Aspinall Foundation, specialise in breeding of rare and endangered species, and where possible, reintroducing them to the wild.
The Aspinall Foundation, which works in conjunction with Howletts and Port Lympne Wild Animal Parks, is an internationally renowned animal conservation charity set up by John Aspinall in 1984, and now run by his son, to promote wildlife conservation.
Howletts Wild Animal Park has lots of good reviews on the web, so we were rather disappointed when we made a visit while on holiday in the area, in that it’s not as spectacular for the visiting public as Colchester zoo or Longleat wildlife Safari Park in Bath; and we have been spoilt by the zoos in France, which are spectacular.
The video only shows a selection of the animals at the park, those that were easy to film. However, the Aspinall Foundation puts the animals interests, welfare, health and safety first; and the enjoyment of the visiting public second. So the animals are not on display for the benefits of the public, they are given their dignity and privacy, and in doing so you may not get as good a view of the animals as you would in other zoos and wildlife animal parks.
However, the Aspinall Foundation is doing a lot of good works for wildlife conservation and is involved in programmes to reintroduce rare and endangered species animals bred in captivity back into the wild. So their works should be commended and in this context Howletts and Port Lympne zoos are a worthy visit, and can make for an enjoyable and leisurely day out.

Places to see in ( Canterbury - UK )
Canterbury, a cathedral city in southeast England, was a pilgrimage site in the Middle Ages. Ancient walls, originally built by the Romans, encircle its medieval centre with cobbled streets and timber-framed houses. Canterbury Cathedral, founded 597 A.D., is the headquarters of the Church of England and Anglican Communion, incorporating Gothic and Romanesque elements in its stone carvings and stained-glass windows.
Canterbury is a historic English cathedral city and UNESCO World Heritage Site, which lies at the heart of the City of Canterbury, a local government district of Kent, England. Canterbury lies on the River Stour.
The Archbishop of Canterbury is the primate of the Church of England and the worldwide Anglican Communion owing to the importance of St Augustine, who served as the apostle to the pagan Kingdom of Kent around the turn of the 7th century. The city's cathedral became a major focus of pilgrimage following the 1170 martyrdom of Thomas Becket, although it had already been a well-trodden pilgrim destination since the murder of St Alphege by the men of King Canute in 1012. A journey of pilgrims to Becket's shrine served as the frame for Geoffrey Chaucer's 14th century classic The Canterbury Tales.
Canterbury is a popular tourist destination: consistently one of the most-visited cities in the United Kingdom, the city's economy is heavily reliant upon tourism. The city has been occupied since Paleolithic times and served as the capital of the Celtic Cantiaci and Jute Kingdom of Kent. Many historical structures fill the area, including a city wall founded in Roman times and rebuilt in the 14th century, the ruins of St Augustine's Abbey and a Norman castle, and the oldest extant school in the world, the King's School. Modern additions include the Marlowe Theatre and the St Lawrence Ground, home of the Kent County Cricket Club. There is also a substantial student population, brought about by the presence of the University of Kent, Canterbury Christ Church University, the University for the Creative Arts, and the Girne American University Canterbury campus. Canterbury remains, however, a small city in terms of geographical size and population, when compared with other British cities.

Kifu the Silverback Climbing Enclosure @ Howletts Wild Animal Park, Kent, UK - 2010 Gorilla
Kifu the western lowland gorilla who lives at Howletts which is owned by the Aspinall Family, shows other gorilla's how to climb and retrieve food from the top of the cage and use dexiterity, co-ordination and patience! If only I had all 3.
Kifu appears very agile, a placid demeanour and intrigued by passers by. It is no suprise that Damian Aspinall ventures into his enclosure alone to spend time with Kifu and his family.
